Tasting notes
Inky ruby. Dark berries, cola and licorice on the highly perfumed nose and in the mouth. Juicy and precise, with slow-building sweetness and a hint of cracked pepper on the back half. Closes with firm grip and very good energy, leaving peppery spice and sappy cherry notes behind.

The outstanding 2010 Crozes-Hermitage is performing better from bottle than it did last year from barrel. Black currant, licorice, black olive and spice box aromas jump from the glass of this dense, ruby/purple-colored, medium-bodied wine. Revealing good minerality, acidity levels and sweet tannin, it can be consumed over the next decade or more. Importer: Europvin, www.europvin.com
